I consider myself a lucky person. I’ve won contests and free stuff. Can’t get luckier than that? Heck, my job involves playing with the kids I adore and drawing all day. Well, I got lucky when I was selected as part of a team to help with one of the parties at  Alt Summit, a creative and influencers conference in Salt Lake.

We were assigned to create a giant bubble station and we had such a fun time putting together this amazing element of the party. As a group of three, we all did our part to prepare for this party and contribute and I loved working together creatively. For weeks we contacted sponsors and worked out details of the party.
The day of the party we worked hard to finish off this amazing element of the party that included two giant troughs full of giant bubble solution. Hand made floral arrangements on either side of the troughs. A 20 foot balloons garland that was embellished with amazing tissue flowers. To finish off the party we had giant 36 in yellow balloons with flower vines dangling.

Giant Bubble Recipe and Bubble Wand Instructions

Giant Bubble Recipe

Supplies:
1/2 teaspoon J-Lube
2 tablespoons baking powder
1-gallon warm water
2 tablespoons glycerin
1 cup Original Dawn Dishwashing Liquid

Instructions:
In a cleaning bucket or small storage container, combine baking powder and J-Lube. Slowly whisk in warm water until smooth. Add glycerin, water, and Dawn.

 

 

Bubble Wand

Supplies:
2 wooden dowels
6-7 feet 100% cotton yarn
Very clean bucket or small plastic storage container

Instructions:
To make the bubble sticks, tie one end of the yarn tightly near the top of one of the dowels (you can notch it with a knife first to make it more secure. Run a line of yarn about 1 1/2-2 feet to the same spot on the other dowel and tie it securely. Tie the remaining end near the original knot, so you have a taut horizontal line on top and loose, drapery yarn on the bottom.
Dip the yarn sticks (is that a thing? I just made it up) in the water. When you pull them out, keep the sticks as far apart as possible and start walking babackwardYou’ll kind of get a feel for it and what works for you, but we all eventually got the hang of it! Have fun!
